in the wake of turmoil

What's Up?

Mafuyu and Aerith have hatched a plan to give Braphine's Chosen some time to relax and have fun together! And just in the nick of time...

Date and Location

Afternoon of Monday, October tth into October 8th
The Aquarium within the Office District

The sway of water

It's a normal morning for anyone who's managing to sleep a standard schedule- up until a mass text goes out, that is. Everyone will find the same thing from either Mafuyu or Aerith's username:

ONE NIGHT STAY-OVER AT THE LOCAL AQUARIUM, SCHEDULED MONDAY, OCTOBER SEVENTH!! All of Braphine's Chosen are invited to an exclusive event hosted at the aquarium where guests can spend the day taking tours and then sleep over in qualified areas. Dining will be provided, all we have to bring is ourselves, changes of clothes and pillows and blankets. (And yes, the floors will be extra clean.)

... Simple enough. And should you choose to attend, both your hostesses will be pleased to see you once it's time to head over.

As they said, the aquarium is largely empty save for the group, and it's definitely worth it. A serene song plays overhead while attendants give tours or explanations as needed. The variety of aquatic life is surprisingly vast as well, and spacious halls give way to plenty of opportunity to explore.

Come nightfall, certain rooms dim the lights but the tanks stay lit- or black lit as darker enclosures like the jellyfish hall and the octopus tanks remain- and only a few staff remain to keep an eye on things- so... stay on your best behavior. The two restaurants stay open- a regular fast food joint with kitschy island cabana theming, and a much more upscale lounge where Aerith plans on corralling the adults for fun this evening.

Once it's time for the age groups to split, Aerith will lead the adults to a pleasant lounge with more tanks, large couches or more private tables, and a view overlooking one of the main rooms of the aquarium- wave to the kids if they're there! Or don't. Bouquets of flowers are placed around the room, and it looks like Aerith has a few ideas already, though she won't stop anyone from going out to review the different sections again.

Contrasting Mafuyu, who is content to let the fellow teens do whatever- though if they do congregate, she's not really the social sort and will simply be content to enjoy the vibes. Even if you just want to take a nap somewhere, there's plenty of dark secluded areas to do so.

Out of character!

This log is for an ic sleepover hosted at the aquarium! All characters are invited but attendance is not mandatory. That said, there are still staff members ready to boot any troublemakers out. We wanted to keep the types of displays vague to give everyone creative freedom, and characters are welcome to flit about between groups as they desire, be it to check in or to to snoop or whatever. As discussed with the mods, this does count as an open event and can be used for rewards. Thank you all for your interest!

"I LOVE YOU" GAME

[speedingticket]

(( Now, this is a new one.

This is a game from Rutile's world, and he's over the moon (lol) that he gets to teach all of you!

Leave a toplevel for your character. Others will reply, saying "I love you." You say "I love you" back. You go back and forth until one person laughs, blushes, or otherwise breaks, and this person is the loser. Loser drinks!

Try it with multiple people, too! Losers drop out until there's only one person left standing, unshaken king of the hill of professions of affection.

Feel free to incorporate dice rolls into this if that's your jam. Up to you how you use them. Have fun! Don't fall in love! ))

[speedingticket]

All right, I'll give an example and get us started!

[ Claps his hands! ]

Taking an intrepid volunteer with nerves of steel!

[strawsandals]

Okay, sure, I'll go.

[ HERE'S A VOLUNTEER? ]

[speedingticket]

[ Wahoo! Rutile beams, thanks internet buddy!

But just as quickly as the smile bursts over his face, his expression quickly cools into something more neutral. ]

I love you.

/???

[strawsandals]

[ "I love you," he says. ]

[strawsandals]

[ That's fine. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ After watching all that from Yoon: ]

...I think you might be too powerful, Mr. Rutile.

[speedingticket]

[ :)? ]

What do you mean, Sunrise?

[beathollow]

( A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS... and given that she's generally very deadpan, good fucking luck. )

[idealitas]

[ This is fine. ]

I love you.

[ Fun fact, Yi Sang is the rare "watashi" and archaics kind of guy in JP. ]

[beathollow]

( ah! warm.


she is not going to give in. as much as she adores yi sang, they are more content to be stoney-faced quiet lil weirdos together, unlike the two who could break her instantly. )

I love you.

[metagame]

I love you.

[It's a chance to tell his friends how much he loves him! While playing a game! This is great.]

[beathollow]

I love you.

( unfortunately for atem, she will not break. )

[cirquedesang]

["mafuyu would be a terribly strong challenge. she just ._. unless its like. arven or celeste."

Bet.

You can tell he got a halfway decent sleep recently because he's more menace than he has been in a whiiiile.]

I love you~

[beathollow]

( she does manage a strong lack of reaction (15)! even if she's very clearly happy, there's no break. )

I love you.

[supherb]

[This game is a little weird and awkward for Arven, and he wasn't planning on participating until Mafuyu goes up to the plate. Of course he has no problem whatsoever with saying the magic words to her, in front of an audience or otherwise.]

I love you.

[He's not even in this to compete. He just wants to say it.]

[beathollow]

...

( blushing. it's very obvious... but also she's very clearly happy.


i did say he would be an instant win. )

I love you. ... But I think, that is a loss for me...

[strawsandals]

[ He is NOT playing this game again but. Like. He's soft, okay.

Mafuyu will get a light, surprise hug from Yoon before he clears his throat. ]

...You win.

[ Bro didn't even play........ ]

[beathollow]

( mafuyu blinks- that... is unexpected. but then she hugs him back, smiling softly. )

[cleansewithfire]

[ This will probably rapidly turn into a stonewall contest, but maybe a mysterious third thing will happen instead??? ]

[metagame]

I love you.

[Of course he does! He loves all his friends.]

[cleansewithfire]

[ Oh, it figures Atem would also be playing this game. ]

I love you.

[strawsandals]

[ Like he did with Mafuyu, he's not playing again because he died (tm) but he will come over to Sunrise and ruffle her hair lightly.

And then he walks away. Just like that. ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ ??? Just like that???

She's following after Yoon because if he's gonna ruffle her hair then of course he will also get it back. ]

[destage]

[Sayaka's looking at this game with both fear and intrigue. She's...never really had anyone to tell her this kind of thing, but she's still good at being stone faced as necessary! She's ready!!!*

*she will crumble at the slightest hint of anything genuine, or from anyone she cares about...]
